Betty Casino is coming to Alberta July 13th

And we’ve got 100,000 reasons to celebrate.

Team Betty 9 mins read

Alberta’s regulated online casino market opens July 13, 2026, and we’re excited to be there from day one. 

To mark the launch, we’re giving one player the chance to win $100,000 (more details and T&Cs below).

 

Alberta’s iGaming market plan

Online gambling has been legal in Alberta since PlayAlberta launched in 2020, but July 13 is the day the province opens a competitive, multi-operator market.

Alberta will be the second regulated, competitive online casino market in Canada after Ontario. The playbook will feel familiar to Ontario’s, with an open market with no cap on operators, overseen by the new Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) with AGLC as regulator. 

Why the need for regulation? Roughly 70% of Alberta’s iGaming play happens on unregulated sites currently, with little protection. 

The new framework brings that play home with safeguards, centralized self-exclusion, strict ad rules, and revenue that stays in the province. It’ll be a safer, brighter, more competitive playground.

 

Your chance to win $100,000 to celebrate the launch

To celebrate the Alberta launch, Betty is running a launch giveaway: one randomly selected eligible winner takes a $100,000 grand prize. Winner selection is expected on July 21, 2026.

How to enter: you’ll need to create a Betty account in Alberta, complete identity verification, and be 18 or older and located in Alberta. Giveaway mechanics and timing are subject to final terms, regulatory approval, and launch requirements.

Why Betty will be one of the best online casinos in Alberta

Betty isn’t new to regulated Canadian markets. We’ve operated in Ontario under AGCO oversight, which means we arrive in Alberta with a working track record on compliance, responsible play, and the thing that actually matters most: fun. 

Other highlights include:

  • Thousands of online slot games in Alberta to play 
  • $1 minimum deposit
  • No wagering requirements
  • 98% of withdrawals are completed instantly

 

FAQs

When is casino regulation coming to Alberta?

Alberta’s regulated, competitive online casino market opens July 13, 2026.

Is online gambling legal in Alberta?

Yes. Online gambling has been legal in Alberta since the government-run PlayAlberta launched in 2020. What changes on July 13, 2026 is that the province opens a regulated, competitive market where licensed private operators like Betty can offer real-money play under provincial oversight.

How old do I have to be to play at an online casino in Alberta?

You must be at least 18 years old to play at a regulated online casino in Alberta. Alberta’s minimum age is a year younger than Ontario’s 19.

Is Betty Casino licensed and regulated to operate in Alberta?

Betty operates under the regulated framework administered by the AGLC, with a commercial agreement through the Alberta iGaming Corporation. 

How does the $100,000 giveaway work and how do I enter?

One randomly selected eligible winner receives a $100,000 grand prize. To enter once registration opens, you’ll need to create a Betty account, complete identity verification, and meet the eligibility requirements (18+, located in Alberta). Mechanics and timing are subject to final terms and conditions.

Are my winnings from online casinos taxable in Alberta?

For most recreational players in Canada, casino winnings are generally not treated as taxable income. Rules can differ for professional gamblers or in specific circumstances, so it’s worth checking with a tax professional about your own situation.

Is it safe to play at an online casino in Alberta, and how is my information protected?

Playing at a regulated operator is the key safeguard. Licensed Alberta operators must meet AGLC standards covering data security, fund protection, and fair play. Betty uses encryption to protect your personal and financial information.

What responsible gambling tools and support are available to players in Alberta?

Alberta’s framework builds responsible gambling in from day one. Every licensed operator must hold Responsible Gambling Council (RG Check) accreditation, and the province runs a centralized self-exclusion program covering both online and land-based gambling. 

At Betty, you can set deposit, loss, and time limits, take a break, or self-exclude directly through your account. Support is available through Alberta’s problem-gambling resources for anyone who needs it.
